Cherry Chicken Chocolate Kitchen: Poems on Play

By Rebecca Trowbridge

Explore the theme of play! Enjoy the schoolyard rhymes of Cherry Cherry Chew Chaw, remind yourself to play like Chicken Quibble, get messy and clean up in Kitchen, and create magic with self-love in Chocolate. This book gives perspective to carers and children alike.
Rebecca Trowbridge and Caitlin Bales are an award-winning team (in the 2013 International Book Awards for the book Fond Farewells: Stories that Comfort when Saying Goodbye). Besides celebrating play, Cherry Chicken Chocolate Kitchen outlines facets of ourselves that block us from fun, and also celebrates taking personal responsibility for our happiness.
